Carotid Stenting
A patient underwent diagnostic angiography of the Right Carotid Artery, which revealed a critical stenosis in the right Internal Carotid Artery.
Under aseptic precautions and local anesthesia, right femoral access was obtained. The lesion was crossed using a microwire, and a distal protection device was deployed in the distal Internal Carotid Artery. A 9 x 30 mm stent was advanced and deployed, achieving optimal luminal expansion. Post-stenting, angiographic assessment confirmed good flow across the carotid artery with no procedural complications. The intervention was successfully completed.
Innvolution’s Pinnacle Agile Cath Lab played a critical role in this procedure by utilizing DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) and Roadmap for high-resolution, real-time imaging. This enabled precise lesion assessment, accurate deployment of the distal protection device and Stent, and ensured optimal vessel expansion while minimizing radiation exposure. Post-stenting, DSA imaging confirmed good flow across the carotid artery, ensuring a successful intervention.
